Newcastle’s 21 year old local lad Paul Dummett could be playing at Hampden Park in January, after St. Mirren beat Aberdeen in the quarterfinals of the Scottish League Cup, following a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win at the Pittodrie Stadium last night.

Paul Dummett – doing very well on loan at St. Mirren He likes playing in black and white stripes – obviously The 21-year-old Newcastle-born defender played the full 120 minutes in his 9th appearance for St. Mirren, but he was not one of the penalty takers.

The Saints were ahead twice in this game and were leading 1-0 in added time, but would you believe it, Josh Magennis forced extra time with a late goal for Aberdeen.

It’s not clear if Paul will still be at St. Mirren on loan when the semi-finals are played on the weekend of the 26th January, since his loan spell is due to end in early January.

That’s a decision Alan Pardew will have to make – whether he lets Paul stay on loan at St. Mirren for the rest of the season.

Certainly if he cannot get many games on Tyneside in the second half of the season, it would seem sensible to let the lad play first team games north of the border.

Paul has done extremely well up north, and had two successive Man of the Match awards for the Scottish Premier League side recently.

Paul was on loan at Gateshead earlier this year and played 10 times for the Tyneside club, and he played once for the Welsh U21 side last year.

He has yet to play for Newcastle in a competitive game but impressed during the Magpies’ American tour last year.

Last season if I’m not mistaken the game vs Norwich, we played with 4 full backs. We have nothing to lose if we played Streete, he would probably do a better job than fb converted to cb and we might see how good he really is.

I think Glenn Roeder or Daglish gave youngsters more chances than AP. Remember Paul Huntington and David Edgar? they are some of the names I remember correctly.

@Santon03 There is a statistic for this, which i currently cannot find unfortunatly. But AP has bled more youngsters in 2 years, the the clubs history in the last 10. There are many youngsters coming to the fore now, not just 1-2.

health update

7th August, 2017

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and started hormone treatment back on 6th March and chemotherapy infusions on 13th April.

I completed the chemotherapy treatments on July 27th and am currently recovering from the sometimes massive side effects of the chemo.

The next step is to have another cat scan in early October to gauge my current medical condition following chemotherapy.

At that time we will work out what comes next.

While there’s no cure for stage 4 cancer there are treatments to prolong life

I'll do my very best in the coming months to fight this with everything I have.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
